Meet admissions staff
The Admissions Department at Western State University College of Law is committed to providing prospective students with friendly, personalized, helpful service.
Each applicant is assigned to one of our Admission Advisors, who works closely with the applicant and is available to answer questions and facilitate the application process. We encourage prospective students to have their advisor arrange a visit to the campus for a personal interview, take a tour, sit in on a class and meet some of our wonderful faculty and students.
